A collaborative group of researchers has potentially developed a means of controlling spin waves by creating a hexagonal pattern of copper disks on a magnetic insulator. The breakthrough is expected ...

Magnetism is usually taught as a story of straight lines, with field arrows marching neatly from north to south. In a lab at Florida State University, that picture has just been shattered by a new ...

Researchers have developed a method by which artificial crystal lattices with a large lattice constant can be created in a semiconductor material. The large lattice constant leads to a reduced ...

Osaka - The pattern of arrangement of atoms in a crystal, called the crystal lattice, can have a huge effect on the properties of solid materials. Controlling and harnessing these properties is a ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of scientists from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Kansas State University, and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory have demonstrated that it is possible to ...

New research by chemist has shed new light on ice crystal formation by combining an electron backscatter with a large single crystal ice model. Scientists discovered that an ice crystal's flat sides ...

An illustration of the two-dimensional magnonic crystal developed in this study, viewed from an oblique angle. Copper disks are periodically arranged on a magnetic garnet film. A collaborative group ...
